Octave 4.4 release candidate



Hi,

I have started the packaging of Octave 4.3.91 (the 2nd release candidate), and
pushed my unfinished work in git.

I have refreshed patches and updated debian/copyright. For the latter, I have
used "cme update dpkg-copyright" in order to autogenerate it, since the manual
update process is very painful. There are two files that help the
autogeneration: debian/copyright-scan-patterns.yml and
debian/fill.copyright.blanks.yml. For more details, see
Dpkg::Copyright::Scanner(3pm) and
https://github.com/dod38fr/config-model/wiki/Updating-debian-copyright-file-with-cme

An upload to experimental is not yet possible because of the following issues:
- libsundials-dev (a new build dependency) is currently uninstallable because
  of the openmpi3 transition
- I get a build failure when building the PDF in doc/interpreter/ (not yet investigated)
- the SOVERSION of liboctave has not been bumped, and I don't know if this is
  expected to happen before the final 4.4 release.

Also note that since --enable-64 is now enabled by default, we can probably
close #779943 (even though BLAS/LAPACK/SuiteSparse operations will still be
limited to 2^32 elements arrays).

Best,

--
